Classics

Students examine history, language, literature, art, philosophy, and archeology, frequently in relation to other ancient cultures and societies.
At Stanford, classics is a dynamic field in which faculty and students employ methods of study across media, genre, and time. Coursework delves into specialized fields such as ancient economics, law, and science, illuminating the interactions of various cultures, as well as the influence of the ancient world on the contemporary one. Classics also collaborates with the Department of Philosophy to offer undergraduate and graduate joint programs in ancient philosophy.
